Default Is the Ty Cobb back still the scarcest T206 back?

Now I know some don't consider the Ty Cobb back to be from the T206 set, but for the sake of this thread lets say it is.

On T206 Resource, the Ty Cobb back is considered the #1 scarcest back in the T206 set. However, due to the most recent discovery of Ty Cobb backs the last couple of years, it increases the elusive back population to a total of 24 examples.

Could the Old Mill Brown back or the Lenox Brown back now top the #1 spot?
And since the Old Mill Brown back is a scrap, could the Lenox Brown be considered the #1 scarcest pack issued back?

It's tough to track down the pop reports for SGC for particular backs, but I'm wondering if anyone has been keeping track of the total pop reports of the Old Mill Brown and Lenox Brown to see which back is truly the scarcest...at least in terms of pop report (which I know isn't always accurate).

I believe Brown Old Mill might be rarer, but it’s close. I believe Brown Lenox is a not-too-distant 3rd. Of the 3, give me a cobb back!

But is Cobb on the front of both cards in the proposed trade? I only want a Cobb back because Cobb is on the front. If I am paying mid-four to five or six figures for a card back, it better have a great player on the front.

One of my closest friends just won the Cobb/Cobb in REA, I'm stoked to see it in person, hopefully within the next few weeks...Legendary card.

Jamie- amazing.

PS- I've always loved the "R" is World, on the Cobb back.

So you've ruled out ever owning a Brown Old Mill?
